OVERVIEW OF
BADMINTON
HISTORY OF BADMINTON IN
INDIA

We already traced the origin of

badminton in the world through
different continents. However, most
sports historians credit the origin of
modern badminton in ‘Poona’,
India. British Army officers posted
in Pune (earlier Poona), India, gave
badminton its present form in the
19th century and played it
competitively.
 GENERAL RULES
 Both the teams or players have their own halves.
 To score a point, a shuttle must fall within the parameters of the opponent’s
half

 If the shuttle hits the net or goes out of the opponent’s half, the opponent
gets a point.

 If the serve goes out or you don’t serve rightly, your opponent gets a point –
no second serve.

 If a player hits the net with any part of the body or cloth, the opponent gets a
point.

 If the referee feels a player is intentionally trying to distract his opponent, he

can call the “fault” and give one point to the opponent.

 If players keep breaking the rules despite warnings, then the referee can
deem the opponent as the winner of the set or even the match.
 TOSS
A coin toss takes place to determine who
will get the first serve or which half of the
court you want to have. Winner of the
toss gets the chance to make one
choice, either serve first or choose the
side.
